Print or braille? A structured approach to determining routes to literacy for children with severe visual impairment

The decision whether to encourage a child with severe visual impairment to work in print, braille or a combination of the two can be a very difficult one to make. It involves not only a full assessment of visual and cognitive skills but also detailed consideration of a child’s long term educational needs. This one-day workshop introduces a new assessment procedure developed in the USA to assist professionals and parents in making evidence-based decisions.
